The division is significant as it was previously led by Nik Abduh’s late father Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, a well-respected religious scholar and spiritual leader for PAS.

The division had also been under the leadership of Nik Amar’s father, Nik Abdullah Arshad.PAS is presently holding its elections at the division levels ahead of the party’s muktamar which will take place between April 27 and May 1 in Kedah.

The election for the party’s central leadership will also take place at the muktamar.

Nik Abduh, who is also Pasir Mas MP, had previously said he will not defend his position as head of the PAS Youth wing.

However, it is unclear if he will vie for a position in the central body.
